Chinese media explained the difference between Crimea for Russia and Nagorno-Karabakh for Armenia
The Chinese information portal Sohu in its military-thematic section publishes material in which it informs readers about the words of the Russian President regarding the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. Also, the Chinese resource cites the reaction to the statements of Vladimir Putin from the side of individual representatives of the Armenian community.
Let us remind that Vladimir Putin, stressing that Armenia did not recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, defined the status of Karabakh as territories belonging to Azerbaijan. According to Vladimir Putin, today this is an internationally recognized circumstance.
Sohu spoke about the criticism that some activists in Armenia have made towards Putin. In particular, statements of representatives of especially radical persons are cited. One example: "If Karabakh, as Putin says, is Azerbaijani, then Russia must return Crimea to Ukraine."
In the Chinese media, criticism of Putin's statement in Armenia has provoked mixed reactions. In particular, it points to the fundamental differences between Crimea for Russia and Nagorno-Karabakh for Armenia. The difference is explained as follows: Russia recognized Crimea, and the reunification was carried out according to the letter of Russian legislation, despite the rejection of the process by many foreign countries, but Armenia did not recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and does not recognize it.
Some Chinese readers, commenting on the complaints against Putin on the part of individual members of the public in Armenia, expressed themselves more directly, stating that if the words and decisions of the Russian president do not fit, it means “get up, take weapon into your hands and go fight with Azerbaijan for the land that you consider yours.
